Doesn't surprise me. There are certainly many more making the minimum (or pretty close) than there are making 8 figures.

I have a buddy who made it to the bigs with the Tigers and Red Sox, if you include the time he spent in the minors and before, doing what he needed to do to make it to the bigs for little or no pay, I made more money in the same time frame as a roadie for bands you guys never heard of than he made as a professional baseball player.

But, he had Topps baseball cards, and I don't, so he wins.
